Mary’s Puzzles is a free bilingual puzzle magazine on the Costa Blanca, bringing together entertainment, community spirit, and effective local advertising in one engaging monthly publication. Produced in both English and Dutch, it is specially designed for the region’s large expat community, offering readers a publication that feels both useful and enjoyable.
For readers, Mary’s Puzzles is much more than a magazine filled with adverts. Each issue contains a wide variety of high-quality puzzles and activities, including crosswords, sudokus, word searches, colouring pages, and other fun challenges. This makes it a magazine people genuinely want to read, keep, and come back to. It offers a relaxing way to spend time while also helping readers discover trusted local businesses, services, events, and community information. As the magazine is free and widely available across the Costa Blanca, it has become a familiar and appreciated part of local life.
For advertisers, Mary’s Puzzles provides a distinctive and highly effective way to reach potential customers. Unlike many traditional publications that are quickly skimmed through, a puzzle magazine encourages readers to spend more time on each page. This means advertisements benefit from longer exposure, greater attention, and stronger brand recognition. Businesses are promoted within a positive, trusted environment, surrounded by content that readers actively enjoy, helping create a more memorable connection with the audience.
A further advantage is the bilingual format, which allows advertisers to reach both English-speaking and Dutch-speaking communities through a single publication. With loyal monthly readers, strong regional distribution, and a format that naturally holds attention, Mary’s Puzzles offers excellent value for businesses looking to raise local awareness and remain front of mind.
In short, Mary’s Puzzles is a magazine that offers genuine enjoyment for readers and real visibility for advertisers, creating a valuable monthly connection within the Costa Blanca community.
